Saving a Document in a New Folder  

Would you like to organize your data better?  Would it be useful to arrange your documents (Word, Excel, or PowerPoint)   in separate folders ? There is a quick and easy way to create folders without leaving your MS-Office application. Here's how-
 
For a New Document
  1. Press CTRL+S
  2. Press ALT+5 (or click the new folder    Icon)     
  3. Type a folder name, press ENTER
  4. Click on the "File name" box, type the new document name
  5. Then press ENTER to save (or click the Save button)
For an Existing Document
  1. Type ALT+F (or click the File menu)
  2. Type A (or click Save As)
  3. Press ALT+5 (or click the new folder    Icon)
  4. Type a folder name, press ENTER
  5. If you want a new file name, Click on the "File name" box, type the new file name
  6. Then  press ENTER to save (or click the Save button) 
This process creates a folder inside the "my documents" folder. If you want a different location, such as an existing folder, be sure the name of the destination folder shows in the box labeled "Save in:" before you create the new folder.
